Gebundenes Buch

Principles of Physical Chemistry

Understanding Molecules, Molecular Assemblies, Supramolecular Machines

Beschreibung

Physikalische Chemie geht nicht nur Chemiker an - auch Ingenieure, Materialwissenschaftler, Biochemiker und Biologen benötigen zumindest Grundkenntnisse auf diesem Gebiet. Eine modern gehaltene Einführung, die sowohl quantenmechanische als auch thermodynamisch-phänomenologische Ansätze umfaßt, bietet dieses Lehrbuch. Der Bezug zur Praxis wird durch viele Anwendungsbeispiele hergestellt. (04/99)

Autor

HANS KUHN became a Professor at the University of Basel in 1951. From 1953-1970 he was on the chair of the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the Philipps-University at Marburg, and in 1970 he became Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry - Karl-Friedrich-Bonhoeffer-Institut - until he retired in 1985. Professor Kuhn has published papers in such fields as polymer science, quantum chemistry, organized molecular assemblies, and the origin of life. HORST-DIETER FÖRSTERLING was a Professor in the Department of Physical Chemistry at the Philipps-University of Marburg from 1972 until his retirement in 1999. Professor FÖrsterling has taught physical chemistry courses and laboratory courses at all levels, including graduate and advanced graduate courses in spectroscopy, statistical mechanics, reaction kinetics, and quantum mechanics. His research interests include quantum chemistry, reaction mechanisms, oscillating chemical reactions, and chemical waves.

Rezensionen

"This admirable text provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals of physical chemistry including quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics/thermodynamics. The presentation assists the students in developing an intuitive understanding of the subjects as well as skill in quantitative manipulations. Particularly exciting is the treatment of larger molecular systems. With a firm but gentle hand, the student is led to several organized molecular assemblies including supramolecular systems and models of the origin of life. By learning of some of the most productive areas of current chemical research, the student may see the discipline as an active, young science in addition to its many accomplishments of earlier years. This text makes physical chemistry fun and demonstrates why so many find it a stimulating and rewarding profession."
